DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 

Act 

On December 17, 2024, the 

Department of Justice lodged a proposed 

consent decree with the United States 

District Court for the Southern District 

of New York in the lawsuit entitled 

United States v. XTO Energy, Inc., Civil 

Action No. 24 Civ. 4269. 

In this action, the United States seeks 

injunctive relief pursuant to the Clean 

Air Act against XTO Energy, Inc. for 

alleged violations of section 112(r)(1), 

42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(1), related to a 2018 

blowout at a fracked gas well in 

southeastern Ohio. The blowout 

necessitated evacuations of the 

surrounding area and resulted in the 

release of thousands of tons of methane, 

which is a listed hazardous substance. 

See 59 FR 4478 (Jan. 31, 1994). Under 

the proposed consent decree, XTO 

would pay $8 million in civil penalties, 

perform an audit of company drilling 

operations and undertake other 

compliance assurance efforts, and 

implement emissions mitigation 

projects that will secure more than 

20,000 tons of methane emissions 

reductions. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

consent decree. Comments should be
